recommendations?

[80sFan]

I'm looking for a series to binge on. We're not big TV watchers so we cancelled cable last year and got a digital antenna (for local news).
We have Netflix, Amazon Prime & Hulu Plus.

Shows we've watched the past few years:

Boardwalk Empire
Breaking Bad (my personal all-time fave)
Sons of Anarchy
Mad Men
the Sopranos

Shows we still watch, just waiting for new seasons:

Downton Abbey
Better Call Saul


Shows we tried to watch and didn't like:

Under the Dome
the Walking Dead
OITNB
House of Cards
the Following
Last Man on Earth
American Horror Story
True Blood
Weeds

Shows I'm considering:

True Detective
Game of Thrones (we watched the first season when it originally aired, but I lost interest)

Any suggestions? Sell me your favorite show!

Season 1 of True Detective is great - I haven't seen season 2 but I've heard it's not nearly as good. Season 2 is a different story than season 1 (like the way American Horror Story reboots every season)

Also, lots of us around here like Bates Motel. The first 2 seasons are on netflix.

You might like Dexter.

It's about a crime-scene tech who moonlights as a serial killer; a kind of avenger.

Thanks, but that's one I forgot to add to the "tried watching, but didn't like" list :/

I wondered about that.

It was conspicuous by its absence.

Thanks, putting Bates Motel on the "consisering" list

Have you seen Modern Family?

It's about the only sit-com on television worth watching.

I don't remember why I didn't l like it. I'm really weird and picky about TV.

 

[Pucker]

It would appear so.

Maybe you should go back in time.

Watch The Sopranos.

I've seen clips here & there, didn't appeal to me. I like that you're trying though!

We aim to please.

Watch The Sopranos.

We're actually just finishing the last season of the Sopranos now

Figures.

I just started watching The Larry Sanders Show.

It's a spoof about The Late Night Talk Wars in the 90s.

Very funny.

Adding to the "considering" list

Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman) and David Cross did a thing called Mr. Show that's pretty funny.

Orphan Black. Fantastic series.
Criminal Minds.

I guess I better stop telling people "I don't really watch much TV."
